Event-Weighted Desaturation Burden and Cardiovascular Mortality in Sleep Apnoea: Findings from a Large Community-Based Prospective Cohort

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Obstructive sleep apnoea's prognostic value is limited by reliance on the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI), which fails to capture physiological heterogeneity of respiratory events. We developed a composite metric, event-weighted desaturation burden (EWDB), integ...
